How to Install Flipr AnalysR 3 Plus | Easy Step-by-Step Guide
-
Step 1: Prepare Your Equipment
Carefully unpack your Flipr AnalysR 3 Plus.
Ensure all items are included:
- Flipr AnalysR 3 Plus device
- Perforated cap
- 2 calibration bottles (one blue and one red)
- Flipr Connect (Wi-Fi gateway)
- USB-C cable
- One or more test strips
-
Step 2: Download and Install the App
- Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
- Search for and download the "Flipr" app.
- Install the app and create a user account.
-
Step 3: Create an Account or Login on the App
- If you don't have an account, create one. You will receive a confirmation and activation email.
- If you already have an account, log in directly.
ℹ️ The activation email might be delivered to your spam folder or blocked. Check your spam folder or follow the recovery procedures suggested within the app. As a last resort, send an email to 1x335zd8hwljqq5evp@trigger.zohoflow.com from your login email address. We will perform the activation and a password reset for you.

Step 4: Set Up Your Pool in the App
- Give your pool a name and follow the guided steps.
ℹ️ These details are crucial for accurate data processing by our algorithms, especially concerning location (weather), pool volume, and treatment type.
-
Step 5: Perform an Initial Test Strip Check
- At the end of the pool setup, we will prompt you to perform a test strip check. This step is essential as our algorithms require specific data for more precise analysis.
ℹ️ Note that the AnalysR does not measure TAC (Total Alkalinity), water hardness, or stabilizer, which are necessary for calculating the water balance.
ℹ️ You can perform this test periodically through the expert menus in the app, and we highly recommend doing so.
-
Step 6: Pairing Your Flipr
- Move close to your Flipr device. The app should detect it automatically and suggest pairing.
- This will link the device to your pool and take it out of sleep mode, which is used for winterization and warehouse storage.
ℹ️ At this stage, calibration is not required as it has been done in the factory. We will prompt you to calibrate again a few days after installation for enhanced precision of the pH probe. You can also perform calibration anytime from the expert menu.
-
Step 7: Pair and Configure the Gateway (Flipr Connect)
- Without the gateway, you will not receive data. Thus, it's essential to pair and configure it.
- If everything has gone smoothly, we will now suggest adding the gateway (the square box provided with Flipr).
- Install Flipr Connect (gateway) in a dry place covered by either 2.4 GHz or Wi-Fi 6.
- The distance between your pool (Flipr) and Flipr Connect should be less than 50 meters, but this can be reduced by interference, walls, or other obstacles.
- Once plugged in (it must remain plugged in), it should be detected by the app. Select the Wi-Fi network you wish to connect it to and enter the Wi-Fi password. Note: On iPhone, only the network your phone is connected to will be visible due to Apple’s security policy.
- Confirm and wait to see if the indicator light turns green 🟢.
-
Step 8: Prepare the Flipr Device
- Gently remove the storage cap containing the probe preservation solution (be careful as the solution might splash).
- Replace it with the perforated cap to allow water to circulate around the probes.
ℹ️ Be careful, the cap is full of storage liquid. It's not dangerous but it can wet you, and it's salty! ;-)
ℹ️ In the future, if you remove the Flipr from the water for an extended period, replace the cap filled with winterizing solution or, at worst, pool water.
-
Step 9: Place the Flipr in the Pool
- Gently place the Flipr into your pool.
⚠️ A few precautions: This isn't an American football, and impacts could damage your Flipr AnalysR. Flipr is sturdy but sensitive to cold. Below 7°C, it becomes inoperative and warranty coverage does not apply.
ℹ️ If winter is harsh, remove Flipr from the pool, replace the storage cap filled with winterizing solution or pool water, and store it in a temperate location. Simply placing it in a bucket of water beside the pool is insufficient.
ℹ️ Remember, pools below 12°C are almost inert, and chemical treatments become ineffective.

Step 10: Verify Proper Functionality
That's it! Now you just need to wait for the first measurements. They are taken every 75 minutes in normal mode and might be unstable or inaccurate for a few hours as the probes eliminate any residual storage or calibration solution.
